Mr.. Gladstone, Two Earls and
an Elm.

The graadest OF all old MEN haabeen
resting, and allowing his voice to gain
strength. He has not been idle, how
ever, but has spent the week writing
letters OF good advice to home rulers
and talking things over with Earl
Granville and Lord Spencer, who have
been mis- guests at Hawarden. Re-
Gently, the grand ola wood chopper
taught two earls q thing or two in his
own peculiar line Of BUSINESS. They
were walking together IN the park,
when Lord Spencer, pointing to q
large elm which could well be spared,
jocularly asked Mr.. Gladstone Why he
did not cut it down. The old home
ruler peeled off his coat and vest, all
though the weather WAS raw and
stormy, loosened his suspenders to
give free play to his broad shoulders,
sent for an AK and brought down the
tree with a degree of Yigor that could
not have been exceeded had he
been hacking at the root of
the Tory party. Earl Spencer
has gone to the south Of France for
his health. and Earl Granville to his
seat at Walmer Castle to nurse his
gout there during the winter, and both
carried with them the conviction that

European convuIsiona tHand.

In a letter to his paper, the Troy
Times, from Vienna, Hon. ohm Fran
els predicts that q European convul-
sion is not far distant. His long resi-
dence i'll Europe and his acquaintance
with leading statesmen there give ex-
ceptlonal weight to the forecast which
he makes as follows:
The political situation of Europe is
now the srhject of great anxiety and
not a little serious apprehension in
business circles and among Ministers
OF State. The continental nations.
with the exception Of Germany, are
burdened with almost insupportable
debt. It is all they can do to, preserve
credit and position with peace assured
them. A great European war would
involve appalling national bankrupt
cies, shaking the very foundations of
business throughout the continent
and bringing untold distress upon
millions of people. And the fact isnot
to be disputed that there is imminent
danger of q great war OF the nations
here. A very intelligent and sagacious
publicist said to me: 'sWar is in the
atmosphere; it is sure to come within
eighteen months;it may break out be-
fore the lapse OF half a year" Aca1e-
full and observing financier connected
with one Of the solid institutions here
said: Austria would get on we'll but
for the danger of war, and this dan
ger 1 fear is imminent. Therefore our
industries. are depressed and the gem
eral prosperity is retarded" tits not
believed here that Russia will inaugu-
rate hostilities on the Bulgarian ques-
tion. Russia will not interfere direct
;lv to drive Prince Ferdinand, late OF
the Austrian army, from the Bulga-
srian throne. She may plot with
money to create-a revolution against
him, and so drive him out, but will
not .resortto arms for that purpose.
But Ferdinand can have no peace in
his position. It is untenable; he can
not stay long. And he is weak sprig
OF Coburg at best. War will most
likely be inalgurgted with hostilities
between France and Germany. This
is the general belief. The Car of
Russia hates Germany; this is,no se-
scret. Russia would probably take a
hand in, after a little, to help France.
This would bring out Austria to the
assistance OF Germany. Italy could
not remain neutral; England would be
Obliged to take some action. A stu
pendous war is among the possibili-
ties, if not the probabilities, of the
near future.

The ProdigaI Sons Sister,

'"Texas Siftings" seems to have tax.
en- to reading the bible, and thinks the
prodigal son story should. be amend
ed by adding something about the
prodigal's sister:
Weread about theprodigal son, and
the prodigal sons father and brother,
but no mention is made OF the pro digal
sons sister. Ofcourse, he had asister;
mostlprodigal sons have. And some
times they entertain agreat affection
Tor the wild, wayward boy, which no
amount ofreckless conduct ean,wholly
estrange. And the respect and love
sin which the prodigal holds that sis
ter is often the one redeeming trait in
his character. He angrily resents the
mention o fher name among ribald
. and profligate companions should
Nsuch a thing occur, and he would
.aas ~soon think OF presenting the
evil one, to her as one of them. In
stead OF ,angrily upbraiding him for
I his irregularities, as his father does,
or scornfully alluding to them in a
manner peculiar to amoraland highly
respectable brother, she demonstrates
with him gently, and endeavors to win
him back to virtues ways Through
the tender influence OF a sisters love.
He may not seem to heed her at the
time, but perhaps good seed is sown
that may sprout bene icially In
after years. Who knows how much
his reeollections of a. sister AT home,
good land pure, may have aided in
bringing the ;prodigal back to his fa-
theirs house, meek and repentant.
True, there is no record of her having
rushed out to meet and embrace him,
but perhaps she was married and liv-
ing in another part of the, country.

Plain Talk For Young Men.

:. Z i
"A young man nicely brushed up and
very genteel, entered an office, and
with a polite air addressed the gentle
man with, "Sir, you want a young
man here, I believer eyes, = was the
reply. "Here are nv recommend a.
tions," said the young man as he
handed a paper certifying that he was
worthy OF confidence, etc. The gentle
man read the paper, and looked up,
remarking: .'We should be clad to
do your friends the compliment OF en-
gaging you 'tWhat shall / be .ex-
pected to do?' asked thevoung man.
ITO aid in the Office as opportunity
may present and to pay notes and
collect drafts, ETC." was the answer.
II don't think collecting drafts would
agree with my feelings" replied the
young man. "Well," quietly respond
led the gentleman, II would not ad-
wise you TODD anything against your
feelings. Good morning" Here is
how they miss it. A certain fastid-
1ousness of feeling is set up where there
J is nothing dishonorable. What can
be less against all true and worthy
feeling than the collection OF drafts?
What is there to soil glove or fingers,
sensibility or consciousness? Many
young and talented persons miss the
road to fortune by the want OF humil-
! lty and patience. They think every
thing must depend on "a good start"
and unless they can make .sgood
engagement" they will rema ain out of
employment for weeks and months.
They miss three things support for
that time, the practice that keeps tai
ents improving and the furnishing of
the best evidence that they are willing
to work. They forget that any situa-
tlon OF honest toll is good when, ,com-
pared with idleness. The trouble with
many young men as a foolish pride
which seems to say that idleness is
more honorable than work.

The fact that in recent order issued

THE euLLIoN-BEcK STRIKE.
a Rig OfGer for the Propcrty-High
Grade Ore.

There has been considerable talk OF
late about the improvement in the cele'
brated Bullion-Beck property at Eureka,
Tintic district, but it was not until within
the past few days that anything definite
could be learned OF the report.
1t now comes to light that a strike OF
very high grade ore has been made in
the mine quite recently and that the
shipments are steadily increasing in size
as well as in value. Twenty-tve-hun'
dred-dollar ore is now being taken out
in small quantities, and with so much OF
it in sight and with improved facilities
there is every reason to believe that the
shipments will soon rival in size those OF
the great Park City mines.
The owners OF the property were last
week offered $3.50, 1000 for the mine, but it
is understood that they refused to con-
slider the proposition thinking that they
will yet realize a much larger sum than
that from the great storehouse
The property is now owned mostly by
the Mormon Church, for which Bishop
Clawson is acting as agent, and the
Bishop also has personal interest in It,.
1t is rumored that Beck has given up his
interest to the Church and that he is now
entirely out, but of course nothing de-
finite can be learned in regard TO this.
After the adverse decision OF the courts
in the great suit which this company was
contesting, this streak OF good luck will
be more than welcome to the manage
ment.

AMUSEM ENTS.
TO-Night's Concert" ROsedalc"
The nIusin-TrebcIIi Concert.

The present week is to be rather live
lier than usual in the way of public
amusement.
The grand concert to be given this
evening at the Baptist Church under the
direction of Professor III S. Krouse will at
tract Il full share OF attention and patron
age. When such artists as Miss Hawley,
Mrs. Agnes Olsen-Thomas, Miss Lawson,
Mr.. Weihe, Mr.. Mcintyre and the others
mentioned in the programme appear, the
success of an entertainment is assured.
1t is never too IL , to make up your mind
to go, as no r. rived seats are sold and
there will BIZ ,Jm for all. Remember
the time and place--to-night at the Bap-
fist Church.
Tomorrow afternoon and evening the
Home DraL4..,ic Club will make their
appearance in the old English sensation,
"Rosedalc'' in which they made so great
hit during the early days OF their or
ganized existence The piece has been
thoroughly rehearsed and with the ex-
perience that the players have had since
the piece was last performed, there can
be but little chance for anything but a
thoroughly enjoyable performance
Wells, Spencer and the other members
OF the Club appear. Nut ced.
Musin and Trebell, who appear in
concert at the Theatre on Wednesday
evening, come with the best Of recon-
mendations, from among which the fol-
lowing is taken:
"Mme. Trebeli is an artist whose fame
was long since established, and cannot
be altered by anything that we OF the
New World may say. 1t remains for us
only to confirm the reputation that has
followed her through her long career
Her voice is a mezzo.soprano OF large
compass and she uses it with the dis
erection OF a mistress of her art"
Musin's playing appeals to the large
class OF music lovers. NJ. Musin has the
pretty and graceful technique and charm
ing sentiment OF the French method. He
plays clearly, neatly and POLITICALLY, and
his expression is romantic. He can mas
